I'm a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard Law School, where I'm working with several offices there to democratize and diversify legal knowledge. Starting September 2022, I've also been a Global Hauser Post-doctoral Fellow and an Adjunct Professor at NYU School of Law and Brooklyn Law School. And beginning in May 2024, I will join the faculty of the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law as an Associate Professor of Law. My research interests are primarily in public law, both domestic U.S. and comparative.    

I received my S.J.D. and LL.M. from Harvard Law School and my LL.B. (magna cum laude) from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Before starting my graduate studies, I clerked for Justice Esther Hayut of the Israeli Supreme Court (before her appointment, and more recently retirement, from a position of Chief Justice). I then worked for three years as an assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel and Legislative Affairs in Israel’s Ministry of Justice. My previous work has been published or is forthcoming in, among other venues, the Southern California Law Review, the Maryland Law Review, the Chicago Journal of International Law, the Berkeley Journal of International Law, and the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. I have also contributed to various book symposia featured on Balkinization, the International Association of Constitutional Law's blog, the Yale Journal on Regulation Notice & Comment blog, and the National Law School of India Review. And I am now in the process of completing a U.S. constitutional law case book, co-authored with Professor Lawrence Lessig, which will be out with MIT Press and is intended to be the first of its kind to be available in electronic form (in cooperation with Harvard Law School’s Innovation Lab). A brief interview about one of my most recent papers can be found here.

I am currently working on several projects across the field of U.S. and comparative public law. For example, I am working on a book manuscript that aims to offer a new theory of constitutional review, both for the U.S. and comparatively. I am also completing several projects that attempt to reimagine the field of administrative law, suggesting how we should build administrative states around the world in a way that would put them on a stronger, and I believe much more attractive, footing (among other things as a response to various attempts to bring forth these administrative states' “deconstruction” and to attack knowledge and expertise). Finally, I am engaged in a multiple-year project that criticizes the literature on “abusive constitutionalism” or “democratic decline”—arguing that it has complicated “dark sides” that are counterproductive to this literature’s aim of better safeguarding and enhancing democracies. My strong sense is that this extensive literature fails to diagnoze correctly what are the forces driving contemporary pressures on constitutional democracies—partly given its fears of believing more forcefully in majoritarian democracy itself and its promise for progressive change.
